Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Buffalo Chips, consider using unsalted butter for better control over the saltiness. If you're out of brown sugar, you can substitute with a mix of white sugar and molasses. For a gluten-free version, replace regular flour with a gluten-free blend. Adding a pinch of cinnamon can also elevate the taste.
Serving Suggestions
Buffalo Chips are delightful on their own, but you can elevate your dessert experience by serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a slice of Raspberry Ribbon Pie. Pair with a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee for a comforting treat.

Store leftover Buffalo Chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them between layers of parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, simply warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes until soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, simply scoop and bake as directed, allowing an extra minute or two if the dough is chilled.
Can I substitute the chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can use white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or even dried fruits for a different flavor profile. For a healthier twist, consider adding dark chocolate chips or nuts instead.
What can I do if my cookies spread too much?
If your cookies spread excessively, try chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping. Additionally, ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh, as expired leavening agents can affect the cookie structure.
